220 The Land of the White Sun and the Mentally Handicapped
……
Peggy looked at the minotaur spirit hesitantly:
"You know me?"
Sanger wiped tears from his eyes and said:
"I'm Sanger, the fastest Sanger, don't you remember me?"
Peggy looked dazed.
Sanger was silent for a moment, as if realizing something.
He looked at Matthew with complicated eyes:
"You're a necromancer?"
"You gave the High Priest a new lease of life?"
Matthew shook his head.
He knew that Peggy must have a background, and as a war angel under the Sun God's throne, she must have been involved in the fate of many people.
It's just that the fall of the sun god was already a legend two eras ago.
The gods who besieged the sun god are now banished by the Scourge mages.
The things on this land have long been changed beyond recognition.
He thought it would be hard to find anything related to Peggy's past life.
I didn't expect that there were still creatures in the underworld who knew Peggy.
"Before she met me, Peggy had awakened to her sense of self as a minotaur skeleton."
Matthew briefly introduced.
When Sanger heard this, a spark of hope reappeared in his eyes:
"Then it's still possible that you're not dead, right?"
"It's just that life continues in this form......"
Peggy seemed a little uncomfortable with the eagerness in Sanger's eyes.
She subconsciously took half a step back, but there was a trace of curiosity in her soul:
"What does the high priest do?"
"Do I have anything to do with you?"
"Where did you come from?"
Sanger hurriedly said:
"You are the best warrior of the Minotaur tribe of the Tianqing Grassland, and because you were chosen by the great Sun God, you finally entered the Sun God Palace and became an angel.
At that time, the celestial realm and the human world were not as clear as they are now, and there were gods and angels walking on the earth, so you spent most of your time on the heavenly grassland.
You are the most prestigious being in the steppe, spreading the knowledge you have received from the sun god day and night, and all the minotaur tribes of the steppe are singing praises for you and the sun god.
At that time, I was just an inconspicuous small character, but because I was a relatively fast runner, I became the fastest minotaur on the grassland for three consecutive years, so I was also recommended to you.
At that time, you were going to promote me to the position of messenger in the Sun God Palace, but before this matter could be arranged, there was turmoil in the Sun God Palace.
At that time, in fact, there was also an unstable factor on the grassland, you told us, you want to go to the heavenly realm, to assist the sun god to calm the war, if there is a problem in the grassland during this period, let us go to the underworld to find the god of death for help.
With that, you leave.
Not long after you left, our tribe was attacked by the Darkface army, and many of the Minotaurs died in the steppe.
I remembered your teachings and ran desperately with your tokens, and finally managed to run into the underworld.
But the Grim Reaper didn't want to see me.
Not only did He refuse my pleas for help, but He trapped me in an endless labyrinth, telling me that I had to keep running to find my way out.
So I kept running and running.
Finally one day.
I ran to the exit of the labyrinth, but by that time the Grim Reaper was gone.
I returned to the world, but I couldn't find the sunny grassland.
A lot has changed in the land.
I have heard that the gods have retreated, and that the sun god and the god of death have fallen one after another many years ago.
I can't find any more minotaurs.
So I had to retreat to the underworld.
It was only then that I noticed that at some point my body structure had changed, my flesh was no longer pure, and time could not leave its mark on me.
I became a half-life, half-dead person.
Eventually, I buried my body in the place where my memory coincided with the location of the Heavenly Grassland.
And I myself became a spirit.
Since then, I have lived in the underworld, and over time I have had a territory of my own.
I became the lord of the underworld.
In my territory, there are many people like me, who have been forgotten by history and the mortal world, and who are the loneliest souls in the world.
We, as dead spirits, yearn for the sun and dream, so we end up weaving a place where dreams and death meet.
That's my territory—
"Land of the Day".
Dayland is a very magical world where you can fantasize to your heart's content, and all your fantasies can become reality.
Of course, we also know that this is a kind of self-paralysis.
It's just that for us who are immortal, being able to paralyze ourselves is also a luxury and a happy behavior. ”
The minotaur spirit gushed in.
After listening to this, Peggy only became a little interested in the Land of the Day.
But she didn't seem to be touched by what Sanger said about the past.
"I'm sorry, you should be talking about my last life, when I might have been an angel of war under the Sun God, but now I'm just a little cook next to Matthew."
Peggy said to Sanger seriously:
"I'm a little interested in the memories of my past life, but that's all, when my consciousness awakens as a minotaur skeleton, I'm just me in this life, not a shadow of my past life, I hope you can understand that."
Matthew wasn't surprised to hear this.
In fact, Peggy has already shown a tendency in this regard.
She was not interested in the memories of her past life.
After becoming a demigod.
She immediately threw aside the power of the War Angel state and spent the day dragging Sifu and Choka to study new recipes.
She didn't seem to have the slightest desire to tap into her power.
That's when Matthew sensed her thoughts.
"Maybe it was the last time she woke up, the washing away of memories from her past life gave her sense of independence a sense of crisis?"
Matthew thought to himself.
"But you're the High Priest......"
Sanger couldn't help but kneel down again, obviously a necromantic creature, and he didn't know where he got the tears and snot to fall to the ground.
Peggy rolled her eyes with soul fire:
"The sun god is gone, and the Minotaur tribe has also disappeared for thousands of years, which son should I sacrifice?"
"What the hell are you going to do?"
said.
She turned her head to look at Matthew and asked in a soft tone:
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
"Would you like to try my new snail soup?"
Matthew's face looked alarmed.
These days, Peggy tries new dishes every day, and some of them are completely dark dishes, and his stomach is a little overwhelmed.
I could feel Peggy's earnest eyes.
He had to say cautiously:
"You can try."
"But it's better to add another bowl of mushroom fried noodles, the kind you are best at, well, I'm hungry at night."
"Okay!"
"I'm going to prepare your favorite snail soup!"
Peggy said and left contentedly.
Only Matthew and Sanger were left staring at each other.
"Do you want to stay and drink snail soup?"
Matthew's face did not change and he ordered the eviction.
Sanger suddenly straightened his chest:
"I'm here to apply for a messenger!"
"I was good at running when I was alive, and I ran even faster after I died, and I was born as a messenger, for the sake of the high priest, I don't charge a penny for sending you a letter, as long as you can see the high priest occasionally!"
Matthew kindly reminded:
"But she may not be happy to see you."
Sanger looked sad:
"Then I'll just hide and take a look at her quietly, you don't understand what the High Priest means to us Minotaurs......"
"But she's right, the Minotaur tribe has been extinct for thousands of years, and many things are meaningless, but for us who are old immortals, we must grasp a little meaning in order to exist, otherwise it will be too boring to be half-dead."
Matthew raised an eyebrow:
"Swingers clubs, like?"
Sanger coughed:
"I haven't been there yet......"
"By the way, aren't you going to send the letter, where is it going? I'll show you my powerful messenger talent! ”
Matthew took out the letter:
"Send it to the Jade Garden......"
Sou!
Sanger snatched the letter away, and the whole person rushed to the north, and after sending it, he disappeared.
Matthew didn't even have time to stop him!
An hour later.
Matthew looked at a series of dishes on the table, such as snail and lettuce soup, carrot fried snails, steamed snails, and enoki mushroom snail rolls.
Then silently hugged his mushroom fried noodles.
In Peggy's questioning eyes.
He could only reach for the spoon.
Right now.
Sanger's figure suddenly appeared, but seeing him panting, he said:
"Jade Garden, Jade Garden...... When I got to the Jade Garden, I realized that I had forgotten to ask who I was going to give it to. ”
Matthew coughed:
"A human girl named Beanna, she ......"
The voice did not fall.
Sanger's figure disappeared again.
Peggy silently looked at the back of Sanger's departure:
"This guy is so fast, is this your new mount?"
Matthew shrugged his shoulders and shifted the subject to concentrate on the fried noodles in front of him.
After dinner.
Horse correction for a walk.
The panting image of Sanger reappeared:
"I, I arrived at the Jade Garden, only to find that I forgot to ask for the specific address!"
Matthew said helplessly:
"Jade Court Upper East Side, Prancing Horse Hotel, between the moon on the second floor, remember to knock on the door."
Sanger gave a thumbs up and set off again.
"It's really fast, this is a back and forth in the Jade Garden?"
Matthew discovered the virtues of Sanger.
Although this guy is careless, he is really fast!
"But as a messenger, I'm afraid I have to change my shortcomings."
Think so.
He bent down to pick up the letter from the ground floor, and then smiled dumbly.
"The next time he comes, I have to explain the details to him."
Surprisingly, however.
Matthew didn't wait for Sanger to appear in front of him again.
A whole night passed.
Sanger was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no news.
Early the next morning.
Matthew came to the office and sat in Rhaeggar's place.
Rhaegar has been busy lately.
So the most important job in Rolling Stone, the task of reading the newspaper, fell to Matthew.
He grabbed a newspaper in his hand, flipped through two pages, and his eyes protruded slightly.
But I saw that one of the pages had such news written -
"According to Ai Lan, the registered mage of the Jade Garden, the Moon of Winter, a creature of unknown origin entered the Jade Court at night, seemingly trying to attack a human girl who had come to learn about elven culture.
The underworld creature has been arrested and is being held in Stone Forest Prison.
Although the creature claims to be a messenger, he does not have any token on him to identify himself, not even a letter, making it difficult not to suspect that this is another attempt by the underworld to launch a temptation to the main material realm.
In recent years, the creatures of the underworld have become more and more active, and the leader of the Spirit Touch Hall, Viscount Fan, is the most. (Turn left to version 3-1 to view Viscount Fan's details)
Winter Moon kindly reminds that if there are signs of abnormal activity of underworld creatures in the territory around you, please report it to the Alliance in time......
Matthew was silent.
Unexpectedly, his messenger was arrested on his first trip......
"Looks like I'm going to have to give him an identification."
Think so.
An owl flew over.
It sent a letter from the Jade Garden.
The sender is Ms. Ai Lan, the "Winter Moon", who is also a registered mage of the Alliance.
The other party mentioned in the letter that Sanger claimed to be Matthew's messenger, and although she didn't believe Sanger at all, she still sent a letter to ask Matthew for advice just to be on the safe side.
If Matthew states that Sanger has nothing to do with him, then the other party will be sent to Hessoshan Prison.
It is not difficult to see from the news of the League Weekly that Ai Lan probably really thinks that Sanger is lying, and also, how can there be a messenger who goes out without a letter!?
Matthew's cheeks burned at the thought of this.
He really wanted to dissociate himself from Sanger.
But when he turned his head, he still took up the pen and wrote the letter seriously.
In this letter, he gives a quick overview of the story and explains that Sanger was the result of an experimental summoning by him.
It's barely rounded.
As everyone knows.
Something goes wrong with the mages' experiments, that's the norm.
Although the spell of summoning messengers is already very mature.
But mature spells can't stop mages from running into trouble.
After entrusting the owl to deliver the letter back to Lady Ara, the Moon.
Less than half a day's work.
Sanger reappeared in front of Matthew.
As soon as I saw Matthew.
He smirked unconsciously, obviously knowing that he had done something stupid.
"I'm not always that reckless!"
Sanger emphasized:
"Yesterday, it was because I met the high priest that I was in a mess, so I seemed a little brainless."
"But I firmly believe that I am sufficient to assume the duties of the Messenger!"
Matthew didn't pay much attention to it.
He simply instructed Sanger on the rules for walking in the main material realm, and then registered his name and image as a messenger within the Alliance.
Afterwards.
Matthew handed Sanger a magical document to prove the courier's identity, telling him to take it with him.
So far.
Matthew finally has a messenger who comes and goes.
As an underworld creature.
Sanger couldn't stay in the main material realm for long, but he delivered messages very quickly and efficiently.
As soon as Matthew gave the order, Sanger would immediately appear in front of him, and this on-call attitude was enough to make up for his carelessness.
Not to mention.
Sanger's strength is also very strong.
He himself is level 18.
He was arrested by Jade Cangting last night because he didn't want to clash with the other party, so he gave up resistance.
Otherwise, if there is a real fight, the declining wood elves may not be able to capture Sange.
After completing this series of procedures.
Sanger took Matthew's letter to the Jade Court again, and this time he finally delivered it to Beanna.
Meantime.
He also brought Matthew's letter of apology and the local products of Rolling Stone Town to the hands of Wintermoon.
The winter moon is also quite enthusiastic.
She asked Sanger to bring Matthew a lot of jade fruits and hand-woven goods.
The former is fragrant, charming, fresh, sweet and crunchy;
The latter is exquisitely ingenious and ingenious.
This one goes back and forth.
Matthew is also in a relationship with Wintermoon.
The latter, in his letters, praised Matthew's idea of an umbrella for the Marks of the Dead.
She offered to ask Matthew to come to the Jade Court to help solve the growing influence of the Marks of the Dead.
According to the Winter Moon.
The Traces of the Dead near the Jade Court have been quite active in recent months.
At least three Wood Elves or Half-Elves have been killed as a result.
She hopes that Matthew's S-level project will be carried out soon.
"If the Umbrella Project can be extended to the surrounding areas of the Jade Court before winter comes, it will be great news for the Wood Elves, and all the creatures of the Jade Court will be grateful to you."
These are the exact words of the winter moon.
Matthew certainly considered continuing with his own umbrella program.
But he had too much on his hands.
Moreover, the problem of the scars of the dead in the Jade Court is much more serious than that of Rolling Stone.
He had to be well prepared to solve the problem first.
Therefore, in the letter, he pledged that he would continue to implement the Umbrella Project.
However, the exact timing of implementation is still up for debate.
Winter Moon replied with understanding.
She also sent Matthew a thick piece of material that was all about the research on the traces of the dead.
The two also talked happily.
In the process, Matthew also learned about Ms. Ailan's background -
She herself is a level 20 elven mage.
The reason why she is revered by the elves as the Winter Moon is because she is proficient in both the winter and moonlight realms.
Her father was a stag and was once the most powerful nature soul in the Jade Garden.
And the mother is an incarnation that the goddess of the moonlight, Althea, once used to walk on earth.
Since her birth, Ai Lan has obtained the demigod personality of her father, and she has two realms bestowed by her mother, although she is not a pure-blooded supreme heaven, she is also a proper second generation of gods.
However, due to her special upbringing.
In the end, she did not throw herself on her mother's side and became the anchor of Tianlun Palace in the main material realm;
did not blend into nature like his father, and became a "willow leaf cultist" who regarded the interests of the elves above everything;
She joined the Seven Saints Alliance and became a powerful mage.
With a legendary background and an identity sandwiched between several forces, Ai Lan has become the focus of many people's eyes.
But the lady herself is very low-key.
Since she became a registered mage of the Jade Cangting, she has not left her mage tower all year round, and she is also the best among the mages of the house.
Ellen has a unique understanding of spells.
Matthew also found a little inspiration in her train of thought.
So he also tried to ask Ailan for spells.
The latter is quite patient with each answer.
This made Matthew's affection for her skyrocket.
Later.
Even Sanger inevitably complained:
"If you find a messenger just to communicate with a fixed person every day, then the pigeon can do my job now."
Matthew's reaction to this was just a faint smile:
"Then I'll change the pigeon?"
Sanger glanced at Peggy, who was busy next to her.
Without saying a word, he picked up his tail and obediently sent the letter.
And so the days went by.
During this time, Matthew also received a letter from the Alliance's Silver Council.
The letter mentions.
The specific date of the second group of delegations of the Umbrella Project has been confirmed, that is, September 20.
The visit will last for three days.
Perhaps due to the influence of the war order, there are not many mages in the group this time, only 9.
Matthew wasn't unhappy about it.
Last time, many people actually looked at Ekmond's face, but now the relationship between himself and Ekmund has been cleared, coupled with the turbulence of the times, it is good to have 9.
Most of these nine people are genuinely here for the follow-up project of the Umbrella Project.
Matthew decided to treat everyone the same and copy what he had done before.
It is a sum to be able to earn.
"But when the second group is gone."
"I guess the Silver Council is going to urge me to move on to the next stage of the project, at least it's time to set up the project."
"It seems that before winter comes, I am going to take a trip to the Jade Garden."
Matthew thought to himself as he adjusted his schedule.
A week later.
September 17th.
In the northern wasteland, under the effect of rapid growth, a pine sapling continues to grow taller and grow into a towering tree.
The nearby pine forest has grown on a small scale.
Matthew felt the change in the land as he packed up his things.
As he had perceived before.
The elements of life in this land are really inactive.
But in the process of planting trees.
Matthew gradually discovered that this inactivity did not affect the cultivation of the pine forest at all.
Because it's just inactive.
Rather than not existing.
Even the elements of life in this land are quite abundant.
They're just passive.
When the roots of the pine tree penetrate into the earth, it absorbs water and activates some of the elements of life.
As a result, the pine forest was much better alive and growing from the beginning than Matthew had when he had opened up the oak forest.
This phenomenon was novel to Matthew.
He speculated that in addition to the scars of the dead, it had something to do with the thing buried in the stratum.
It's just that the work on the surface is going well, but the opening of underground caverns is a little difficult.
Zombies are good at work.
But digging a hole is actually a technical job.
In the process of opening the second cemetery, there were several landslides.
After the zombies were buried in some places, Matthew couldn't find them afterwards!
That is, the life of a zombie is not worth anything.
Otherwise, there really won't be a way to do it.
But no matter what.
Matthew's plan is always in a methodical way.
There are now more than 400 pine trees in the forest.
Look far away.
It already gives people a sense of greenery.
So far.
At the end of the week's work.
Matthew has accumulated 10 enhancement points in one go, which can be used to enhance 10 signature spells.
Return to the newly built wooden villa.
Matthew drank the clear spring water as he finalized the final signature spell.
The list in front of him had a lot of alternative spells.
Next to it is a detailed list of advantages and disadvantages.
For example, "rebellion".
This spell is actually a high priority in Matthew's mind.
But here's the thing.
In the final analysis, it is still the ability of a disgusting person.
Whether it's sneaking in or grabbing it in person.
It belongs to the tailwind that can disgust the dead.
But the headwind is a spell that doesn't have much effect.
After all, a really strong character is difficult to be rebelled against.
And this spell also has restrictions on the necromantic realm.
From the enhancement of Ah Bing and others, Matthew summed up some experience, which may also be applicable to the field of spells.
That is, it is difficult for the strengthened object to exceed the original limit, and at most it can tap the potential.
There may be some potential for rebellion.
But it's still too restrictive.
Matthew shook his head.
Remove this spell from your face.
After this.
He deleted the "Equalizing Hand" again.
No matter how powerful an instant death spell is, it can't escape the restriction of instant death.
Powerful creatures are resistant to instant death.
Matthew wasn't optimistic enough that he could enhance a one-time death spell that ignored one-time resistance.
This is contrary to the laws of the plane.
Matthew has a very clear understanding of this.
Thereafter.
For different reasons, he successively deleted "Flying Technique", "Any Gate", "Necromantic Summoning Technique" and so on.
Ultimately.
There is only one spot left on the spell list.
"Lethal Scissors".
The scientific name is "Iowa Scissors".
This spell, along with the "Dome of Death", is known as the necromancer's two major chicken rib spells.
It has a strong ability to deal damage.
But the disadvantages are also prominent.
After considering it all, Matthew thinks that he lacks a powerful spell to deal damage, which is actually a common problem of necromancers-
Summons? Abuse of vegetables.
Judgment of Instant Death? Abuse vegetables or steal chickens.
Negative energy? Most of them are secondary effects.
There are too few spells that can deal damage properly.
Therefore, Matthew wanted to make up for the shortcomings of the lethal scissors, so that he could have a stable ability to deal damage.
Just do it when you think of it.
After setting Deadly Scissors as your signature spell.
Matthew didn't hesitate to choose 10 consecutive reinforcements!
……
"Hint: Enhancement Success!
Your signature spell, "Lethal Scissors", has received the following boosts –
-
Spell Channel Time Reduced by 5S-
The second stage of charging time is shortened by 1S-
Three-stage charging time shortened by 3S-
A damage increase
-
Elite Boost (Slow Field): When you are channeling, a slow field will form at the foot of the target area, and all creatures affected by this field will have their movement speed reduced by 50%.
-
Three-stage charging time shortened by 3S-
2nd Stage Charged Damage Increase-
Elite Enhancement (Beautiful): Optimized the lighting and shadow effects of your spells, so your scissors look smoother and sound crisper when clicking.
-
A damage increase
-
Rare Enhancement (10x size): Your scissors are 10x larger in size and coverage!
That is, after chanting, you will be able to control a 20-meter scissors!
Enhancement complete.
The current lethal scissors properties are as follows-
Singing time: 15S
1st Episode (Seconds) (Damage equivalent to Level 13 Shaping Spell)
2nd Stage (Charge 4S) (Damage equivalent to Level 15 Shaping Spell)
3rd Stage (Charge 24S) (Damage equivalent to Level 20+ Shaping Spells)
Special Enhancements: Deceleration Force Field/Beautiful/10x Size"
……
Not bad!
Matthew was quite pleased with the reinforcement results.
10 times the size to match the deceleration force field.
This thing can already be used as an area spell.
And with the subsequent reinforcement is carried out.
Matthew will hopefully master a powerful and stable signature spell!
"But what's the deal with this beauty?"
"Why does spell enhancement also have an effect similar to a gray keyword?"
Matthew scratched his head in confusion.
And in order for the spell to be able to go further.
Matthew then slowed down the pace of planting oak trees.
Single-mindedly engaged in pine trees.
Lulu, the oak fairy, was a little dissatisfied with him.
Still, Matthew spilled every drop of sweat into the pine forest.
The days passed.
Matthew's heart is incomparably full.
It's just that he always has a strange feeling when he's busy-
Have you forgotten something?
But he never remembered.
I simply didn't think about it.
Until one day, when he was off work, he bumped into Siv and Rhaegar actually arguing.
Matthew went over to ask why.
Rhaegar explains that Sif wants to learn spells, but he doesn't think it's time yet.
She had just awakened, and she needed time to digest the abilities that had come from her awakening.
Finally.
He said with some emotion:
"This kid rarely quarrels with me, but the way Seve lost her temper at me just now reminded me of Melinda......"
That moment.
Matthew finally realizes what he's overlooked!
……
Hessoshan Prison.
Superior Private Room.
In front of an alloy door.
Warden Alexander himself opened the door, and as he opened it, he explained:
"We have been in custody according to your request, and we have made sure that there is no crime against your personal belongings, that her clothes are handled by the female jailer, and that other aspects of life and privacy are ......."
The voice fell.
The door opens.
The two saw a slender woman crouching beside the bed in prisoner's clothing.
I heard someone coming.
The female prisoner quickly raised her head.
She smiled at the two of them.
Laughing while still drooling on the ground.
Seeing this, Alexander was angry and said:
"Hera!?"
"How many times have you said that don't use 'mentally retarded' on the prisoners in the superior rooms!!"
A moment later.
A construct resembling a large golden retriever came out of the passage behind the two.
She shrugged her shoulders as she walked and said:
"Look away, Alexander, I'm not using retardation."
Alexander was furious:
"You're still quibbling?"
"And what spell did you say you used?"
Hera blinked:
"It's the Legendary Retard."
